House approves motion to name Olimpico after Paolo Rossi

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 30 - The Lower House on Thursday approved a motion to rename Rome's Olimpico Stadium after 1982 World Cup winning hero Paolo Rossi, who died at the age of 64 a year ago.
    The motion, passed by 387 votes to nil, commits the government to weigh the possibility of naming the ground after the former Vicenza, Juventus and AC Milan star, who top scored in the tournament in Spain as the Azzurri swept to victory in the final against West Germany after earlier beating short-odd favourites Brazil with a Rossi hat-trick.
    The motion was sponsored by centre-right Forza Italia MP Pierantonio Zanettin. (ANSA).
